Tricep extension for women

This is one of the most common exercises aimed at strengthening the triceps, mainly its medial head. In order to properly work out all the heads of the triceps, it is necessary to constantly increase the weight of the burden.
Extending your arms at the elbow joints, pull the block handle to the front of the thighs. Slowly return to the starting position and repeat the tricep extension.

Grab the handle with a straight grip.
Press your elbows to your sides.
Relax your shoulders and keep your spine in a neutral position.
Bend your legs slightly at the knee joints.

Use the maximum possible range of motion.
The movement should be performed only at the expense of triceps.

Straighten your chest, relax your shoulders, and keep your spine in a neutral position.
Don’t use momentum. Movements should be slow and controlled.
